Linda Ronstadt - That'll Be The Day Live

[@danielschlatter7606]

The point is that she takes any song, from That'll be the day to Silver threads to Tumbling dice - not to mention Canciones de mi padre - and makes something out of it that comes from some galaxy where only angels have access . Unique woman, unique singer!

Linda Ronstadt is the greatest, most diverse female vocalist of her generation.

She certainly is.

There is only one Linda

Ann Wilson from Heart was amazing too.

[@Jim-t6n2t]

Of any generation I'm sure. When you consider the huge amount of different musical genres she has sang extremely well and sang/ collaborated with so many great other singers due to her powerful and beautiful voice. I seriously think there will never be someone as great as linda Ronstadt.

[@matthewr8819]

I fell in love with Linda in 1976 when I was only 10 years old. My sister called her record company so I could speak to her, and a few days later Linda called me at home. I asked her to marry me and cried when she said ''no''. After that I was her #1 fan, and she called me for years checking up on me to see if I had a girlfriend yet. True Story. I still Love her today, she never married.

[@reginaldwhite7944]

i was thinking the same thing dang

[@HoneyTone-TheSearchContinues]

Well, in her case it's a combination of talent, experience and professionalism. Experience: sing the same songs for months at a time on tour. Professionalism: expert preparation combined with knowing all the "tricks of the trade" - like getting a pitch note from one of the guitarists, which you can hear before they start, and the drummer tapping his sticks together to set the tempo. Talent: Hell, that lady could flat sing anything! Loved her since I bought her first solo album - Hand Sown, Home Grown - in a record store in Westwood in 1969 for $1.99.

[@rrmarshall3239]

Seeing her perform this tune live I swear the power of that first note makes it feel like she could blow off the roof of auditorium if she wanted to. Beauty and talent all rolled into one, there will never be another like her.

The difference between Linda Ronstadt and most other female singers ever, is that she was not just a beautiful girl flaunting flirting showing off, displaying her beauty on stage, but to the contrary, she was a fenómenal incomparable singer artist who just happen to have a delightful beauty charm, charisma. Combining all these with the fact that she sang extremely superbly in more than a dozen musical genres ,is unsurpassed by any American singer. No wonder so so so many very famous artists and band groups reached to collaborate with her. Linda Ronstadt is not only a true American Gem and a National Treasure , but an International adored Treasure as well.
